[Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy and persistent virus infection? Discussion of immunohistological findings on two cases (author's trsnsl)].

The presence of rubella virus antigen was demonstrated by means of immunohistological methods in two cases of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. One patient had elevated serum anti rubella titer and myocarditis. These findings support the idea that angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy develops as a combined effect of persistent virus infection and partial immune deficiency.

Diagnostic and differential diagnostic aspects in histiocytosis X diseases.

Diagnostic and differential diagnostic aspects of the known manifestations of histiocytosis X are discussed with respect to our own findings. It is our considered opinion that the term "histiocytosis X" should not be employed in isolation for diagnostic purposes. Rather, one should make an effort to designate the disease exactly in stating the prognosis for a particular patient. Both clinical and morphologic parameters must be considered in making this exact diagnosis.

[Familial hemophagocytic reticulosis (Farquhar) (author's transl)].

An account is given of six cases of familial hemophagocytic reticulosis (familial lymphohistiocytosis). After a period of illness varying from 2 weeks to 7.5 months the infants studied died with pancytopenia, fever and hepatosplenomegaly. Histologic examination revealed three characteristic features: Lymphocyte infiltration of the organs, reduction of the lymphatic and hematopoetic system, histiocytosis with erythrophagocytosis. The etiology of this disease remains obscure. Congenital allogeneity may be a possibility, but further immunologic investigations would be necessary to support this hypothesis.
